Abstract

Input-output tables are a powerful analytical tool for describing the structure of New Zealand’s economy. They show the relationships between industries, the goods and services they produce, and who uses them. Input-output tables have many uses, including:

Estimating the effect changes in government policy have on key economic variables

Examining the impact of changes in producer prices or wages on the consumers price index

Exploring the reliance of industries on imports, and estimating their contribution to exports.

Purpose

Input output tables are a tier-1 statistic for the government. They are a transformation of the supply-use tables produced by National Accounts through the supply-use balancing process.

Significant events impacting this study series

The tables are normally released every 5 years, but the 2013 tables were released only 4 years after the 2007 tables, because the Christchurch earthquakes and the global financial crisis resulted in users requesting tables updated for these events.
